Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Players face a significant workload in editing entire game videos to extract highlight clips suitable for sharing, as these videos are large and often include unnecessary content, requiring manual editing that is time-consuming.

Innovation Solution

A video editing method and system that utilize an electronic device with a processor and human-machine interface to automatically generate video clips based on input signals such as click frequency, sound volume, or speech speed, allowing for the determination of highlight clips without manual editing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If players manually edit entire game videos to extract highlight clips, then the quality and suitability of sharing content is improved, but the time consumption and workload increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvevideo clip generation efficiencyVSAvoidmanual editing time

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automatic video clip generation by analyzing game video data and detecting highlight moments through algorithms, allowing the video processing to serve itself without requiring manual player intervention for editing decisions and operations

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual editing process with an automated computational system that uses algorithms to analyze video content, detect highlight moments based on predefined criteria, and automatically generate clip files, substituting human manual operations with automated processing

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If players capture entire game videos for review and sharing, then complete game coverage is achieved, but the file size becomes too large and includes many boring clips

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvevideo content completenessVSAvoidvideo file size

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the relevant highlight portions from the complete game video data by analyzing the video content and identifying moments that meet predefined highlight criteria, separating useful content from unnecessary footage

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent divides the continuous game video into discrete segments or clips based on detected highlight moments, creating multiple smaller, focused video files rather than one large comprehensive video, with each segment representing a specific highlight event

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation
